Default Struts & shocks

Well I'm looking for some new struts & shocks for my 06 Dakota Crew! Anyone have a recommendation as to what to use? I notice there isn't a whole lot out there to choose from. This is my daily driver so I want a comfy ride but can handle towing a car trailer or a load in the bed when needed.

Thanx, Cory

Monroe or Rancho, you pick

Some say the Ranchos are stiffer than the Monroes and both are better than stock. I havent had to go this route yet, the stockers are holding up and riding like they are meant to, smooth and no sponginess.

Ranchos are a good choice. June could turn into June 2012, as most parts do for 3G Daks
